Non-equilibrium phase transition in the Brownian Ising Model: field theory, renormalization group, and exact results
Mattia Scandolo, Luca Di Carlo
We present a complete field-theoretical renormalization-group (RG) analysis of the Brownian Ising Model (BIM), in which a order parameter is coupled to a passive con…

Non-equilibrium coupling to a diffusing density breaks Ising universality
Mattia Scandolo, Johannes Pausch, Michael E. Cates +1
The Ising universality class is remarkably robust to non-equilibrium perturbations, which generically flow to zero under renormalization. We show that this robustness fails when an…

Information bounds the robustness of self-organized systems
Nicolas Romeo, David G. Martin, Mattia Scandolo +3
Self-organized systems, from synthetic nanostructures to developing organisms, are composed of fluctuating units capable of forming robust functional structures despite noise. Here…
